One of Microsoft's surprises from last year's E3 was ReCore, an action-adventure title spearheaded by Keiji Inafune and Armature Studios. After a very long wait, Microsoft has finally treated us to some gameplay footage, introducing three of the robots previously shown; there's Joule, a robot dog called Mack, and a spider-bot with the extraordinary name of Seth. ReCore is set to launch on September 13th, according to the trailer.

We at Gamnesia are always looking to grow both our staff and our audience—and wouldn't you know it, here we are growing our staff! We're looking for volunteers to help run the show here, from writing to editing and more. If you've ever wanted to join the gaming industry as a journalist, now's your chance to start! We have no age requirement, nor do we care whether or not you have past experience working in games media; all we want you to bring to the table is a talent for writing and a genuine love of the game.

We at Gamnesia are looking to grow our staff, and while we're always hiring throughout the year, right now we're pushing for the best and brightest up-and-coming writers to join our ranks just in time for E3, and hopefully to stay long after. Head inside for more information.

If you've been dying to know anything in particular about Splatoon, you're in luck, because Gamnesia has access to a prerelease copy of the game and we're ready to answer your burning questions! Have you been wondering anything about the weapons? Modes? Whether the lack of voice chat is really as big a problem as people say? Head past the jump and leave your questions in the comments section, and we'll do what we can to answer them!

We’ve been running a Nintendo-centric podcast called Nintendo Week on iTunes and YouTube for some time now. Typically, the podcast consists of a weekly news discussion and a more general discussion about any range of subjects—Amiibo, Nintendo’s smartphone plans, remakes we’d like to see on 3DS, to name a few, and we’ve got plenty of others in the pipeline. But this week, we want to introduce a third type of segment: a Q&A.

But of course, to do that, we need your questions! You can reference a piece of news, you could ask us about a game or series, you could ask us anything Nintendo-related that you want! Feel free to be as creative or specific with your questions as you want, because we’ll be answering the best of the best in a new segment on Nintendo Week this Wednesday!

To leave a question, just leave a comment on this page in Disqus. We’ll be reading through all of them (and even some questions on Facebook and Twitter), so don’t hesitate! And if someone asks a question you didn’t think of, but would like to see answered, go ahead and vote their comment up! The most popular questions have the highest chance of making it to the show.

Gamnesia is always looking for bright new faces to add to the staff, and today is no exception! In fact, it’s currently more true than it usually is, as we’re seeking new Copy Editors to help us out!

I’m sure plenty of you have noticed your fair share of typos or grammar mistakes here at Gamnesia. We do our best to avoid these mistakes and to fix them if they pop up, but nobody’s perfect. That’s why we have a team of special members called Copy Editors, who can go in to our articles and correct these mistakes, so we can be sure the site is looking its absolute best. Head inside for more information!

Hello there everybody! It's another Sunday here at Gamnesia, meaning another episode of our weekly news recap show... Although today isn't a normal Sunday, as we have some sobering news about the video series. It's been a wonderful six episodes, and the recap will certainly live on in the future, but this week we're here to announce that the recap series as it is must unfortunately be cancelled.

Ladies and gentlemen, we here at Gamnesia have a few very special announcements to make. At long last, we have managed to get our user account system up and running, so you can finally register your very own Gamnesia account! You may be asking yourself, “Why would I want to do such a thing?”, but there are some pretty interesting upsides to it all. First of all, you can post comments on our articles without having a separate Disqus account. Secondly, you will be able to use Gamnesia’s brand-new forums and send private messages to other users you’d like to talk to. Finally, you can start posting your own content using our new Journals feature!

But okay, hang on… That’s a lot of information for us to drop that quickly. Head past the jump for a full breakdown of all our new features and how you can make the most of them!

Not long ago, we at Gamnesia launched a news recap show: a weekly video in which we cover the last week's worth of gaming news with a bit of comedy flair. The show has been running for four episodes now, but the trouble is, we still don't have a name! But this week, the show is on hiatus so that I have time to review Hyrule Warriors, which just launched today, so it's a perfect opportunity to spend some time off of production and just brainstorm. So we're hoping you guys would share your ideas!

We haven't been able to think of a name that we all really love, and so we're hoping you guys could share your ideas. Personally, I'm thinking of calling it "Regame," a name suggested by a fan in the comments of the very first video. It's nice, succinct, and it implies the purpose of the show in its name. But again, like I said, we haven't heard a name that really grabs us immediately, and while "Regame" is nice, it doesn't have that
shazam that we're hoping to find.

So, what do you guys think? Do you have any ideas for the name of our show? What do you think of the name "Regame?" The show is inspired in part by Jon Stewart and John Oliver's programs, so perhaps even something more along the lines of "The Daily Show" could work. Please let us know in the comments—we're happy to hear from you!

Not too long ago, we at Gamnesia announced a ton of new features for our site, all coming sometime soon. Since then, we've continued doing the Daily Delib, a daily post where we get to know you guys and your thoughts better; we've launched a news recap comedy show that condenses a week of news into about seven minutes on YouTube; we've introduced Game Clash, a head-to-head battle pitting two games against each other every Monday; Community Nights, where readers and staff alike join to play video games together on Twitch; and we've dabbled in others, as well.

Now that we as a community have had enough time to get used to a lot of these regular new features, we the staff want to know what you guys think! Do you love them? Hate them? Which one/s are your favorite, and why? We're curious to know what you guys are thinking, so head inside and leave a comment to let us know!

It goes without saying that we at Gamnesia love games. Chances are that you, given the fact that you're reading this, also love games. Some of us however, myself included, have always wondered just how the hell these damn things get made. I know countless programmers and designers who got to their chosen profession with that question at heart and I am happy to include myself among them. Not content with simply making games for a living, I've decided to share it all with you fine folks.

With that introduction I am proud to announce that Gamnesia will be getting a new article series focusing entirely on game development and news from the game development front. These will include mostly tutorials, tips & tricks, Q&A's and anything else that I (and you) can think of. That last bit is very important, so let me emphasize it - the majority of the stuff that will be shown, presented and analyzed in these articles will be influenced by you, the readers. Whether you want more tutorials, finished code assets, Q&A's or just plain old dev logs, you'll get it.

Hello everybody, and welcome to the pilot episode of our yet-to-be-titled news recap show. Typically, the show is for breaking down the past week of news, but because this is our pilot episode—which we're essentially using to test the waters—the content actually comes from a bit earlier in the month.

We're looking for feedback on how you like the format, so by all means, please head to the comments and share your likes, dislikes, suggestions, and more, so that we have a much better idea of what you'd like to see from the show going forward. Thank you so much for helping!

News never sleeps, and we at Gamnesia are always looking for a few new members to join our team! Ideally, we'd like to see upwards of two or three diligent, eager writers who can post at least two news stories every day—but we're incredibly flexible with that time commitment for anybody who's willing to lend a hand.

Having experience as a writer and a gamer always helps, but one of the things on which we pride ourselves most here at Gamnesia is providing bright up-and-comers with an opportunity to write without the need for a formal background. So whether you're a professor with nine published essays on the botany of the Mushroom Kingdom, or just a high school student looking for a fun extracurricular, we'd love to see you to apply today!

Speaking from experience, now is a perfect time to get into the swing of writing. For students, writing a story or two is a great way to take a quick breather from homework without getting too distracted, and having this sort of published experience can look really good on a college or job application. And as you'll hear from staff testimonials in the comments, we love what we do and working here is a ton of fun!

On top of the usual notices, we're also looking for someone who can devote their time to keeping our Facebook page active with images, quotations, fan art, and anything else for gamers to enjoy. So if you have experience promoting social media and want to join the team, by all means please do!
